Pendidikan sangat penting bagi manusia, karena pendidikan menyangkut kelangsungan hidup manusia. Manusia muda tidak cukup hanya tumbuh dan berkembang dengan dorongan instingnya saja, tetapi perlu bimbingan dan pengarahan dari luar dirinya (pendidikan) agar ia menjadi manusia purna (A.Soedomo Hadi, 2005: 1). Melalui pendidikan akan dihasilkan manusia-manusia terdidik sebagai sumber daya manusia berkualitas yang akan berperan dalam pembangunan. Sehingga peran pendidikan sangat penting bagi masa depan suatu bangsa. Ini sesuai yang tertuang dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional Pasal 3, bahwa Pendidikan Nasional berfungsi mengembangkan kemampuan dan membentuk watak serta peradaban bangsa, bertujuan untuk berkembangnya potensi peserta didik yang menjadi manusia yang beriman dan bertakwa kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, berakhlak mulia, sehat, berilmu, cakap, kreatif, mandiri dan menjadi warga negara yang demokratis serta bertanggung jawab (Tim Redaksi Fokusmedia, 2006: 62).
